for all occasions of his experience: A Jew in Tunisia, The

killing in the film business. We also meet the unknown narrator,

humour. Humour is to the fore in this novel of a building
friendship between two Dubliners as they encounter the New World,
with its new language and confusing mores.

he launches himself in to many ventures - stand up comedian,
